What is recorded here

Enclosure is a rectangular standing stone in County Leitrim, Ireland, measuring 1.5m long, 0.7m wide and 1.25m high. It sits on a slight rock shelf and points east-west, though it may be natural rather than placed. The 1944 OS map marked the shelf with hachures, suggesting the stone has watched that edge for centuries. Whether human hands set it or the cliff simply broke free, it still stands like a boundary drawn in rock.

Situated on a slight shelf of rock outcrop (H c. 2m) that is depicted by hachures NW-SE (C c. 40m)only on the revised 1944 edition of the OS 6-inch map. A stone with a rectangular cross-section (dim. 1.5m x 0.7m; H 1.25m) is oriented E-W, but may be natural. The above description is derived from 'The Archaeological Inventory of County Leitrim' compiled by Michael J. Moore (Dublin: Stationery Office, 2003). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Date of upload: 23 September 2008
